Squinzano DOC Riserva
Squinzano DOC Riserva from the Radicanto line, a red wine made from pure Negroamaro, a typical expression of Salento. On the nose, aromas of cherry in spirit, aromatic herbs and rhubarb emerge with light balsamic nuances. On the palate it is warm and textured, supported by well-integrated tannins and an enveloping structure that leads to a long and persistent finish, where Mediterranean sensations return.

The Territory
Squinzano is born in the heart of Salento, a flat area overlooking the sea and characterized by a warm, breezy and distinctly Mediterranean climate. Here viticulture has accompanied the agricultural life of local communities for centuries and Negroamaro represents one of the iconic grape varieties of Puglia.
The calcareous soils and the constant influence of sea breezes favor complete ripening of the grapes, giving the wines structure, warmth and aromatic intensity. In this context, wine becomes an integral part of the territory’s culture, a direct expression of the landscape and farming traditions.
The Radicanto Line
Radicanto is born from the symbolic union of roots and song. The roots recall Puglia’s deep connection with its native grape varieties and its agricultural history; the song represents the cultural and communal expression of this land, made of shared traditions and conviviality.
The line interprets wine as a story of the territory: each bottle unites identity, memory and contemporaneity, transforming Puglia’s wine heritage into an accessible and recognizable experience.
Radicanto is therefore a tribute to authentic Puglia, where nature and human work dialogue in balance.
